The 13-year old victim told deputies that Salazar-Alvarado sexually battered her and inappropriately touched her several times when she was between 9 and 12 years old.

Authorities said the investigation began in late April, when deputies received information regarding possible sexual abuse. Based on the victim’s statements and evidence, deputies obtained a felony warrant for his arrest.

Salazar was arrested at his home and booked into the Osceola County Jail, where he's being held without bond.
